Google's Project Tango Struts Into the Spotlight

Google is making an increased push into the 3D imaging sphere with the announcement of its Project Tango technology. The project is aimed at helping mobile devices fully map a 3D space to give them the same type of understanding of space and motion that humans have through a blend of robotics and computer vision tools. "Google has a reputation for finding value in places most other companies pay little attention to or overlook entirely," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT.
